Showcase Sunday is a weekly feature hosted by Vicky of Books, Biscuits, and Tea where all book lovers can share with others what bookish goodness we got this week, be it purchased (physical or eBook), won, gifted or for review!
Sooooo, this week hasn't been exactly the best on terms of how I've been doing emotionally but it seems like Karma or the Universe decided to be kind to be and many many books have been dumped on me!! YAY FOR BOOKS! Two big orders from Book Outlet arrived this week (shipping is faster than I expected!!) and then I discovered this very morning that I have been approved for 5 books on Edelweiss by Harper Collins!! THEY NO LONGER HATE ME!! I really have to thank Alyssa from The Eater of Books for her advice on how to improve my profile and presence on EW to improve my chances of approval! I also got approved for a book I really wanted on NetGalley and got some awesome preorders and shopping spree on my Kindle app... books as retail therapy for the win!
Purchased (via Book Outlet)
As always, Dylan and Mini-maug are as excited as I am when I open a box full of books, and in this case, I got TWO!! A lil boo-boo was made when I ordered Thornhill before Hemlock, but that's been solved since Hemlock is also on its way to me now! And Asunder is also awaiting Incarnate on the mail. I loved Jodi's trilogy so much I need it in hardcover!

Signed Swag!
I also got some absolutely amazing signed swag in the mail from M. G. Buehrlen! I adored her book The 57 Lives of Alex Wayfare (so much I made some Ink & Batter cupcakes inspired on it) and I loved getting this super geeky swag, with a bookplate that is now making my copy a signed one and a super sweet note! Thank you so MUCH, Mandy!!
And that's all for the amazing massive haul for this week! Whew!
What all did you guys get this week?
Man, you did good this week! The BookOutlet stacks look so pretty. Fire is amazing! (Don't You) Forget About Me is too. I just read that one last week. Poison Dance is a new addition to my kindle as well. Congrats on the Harper approvals! I really want to read all of those, despite the fact that I haven't started any of those series yet (having access to a sequel motivates me to start a series, though). Lastly, the swag looks really cool. :)
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome week, Pili! I hope it's full of awesome reading.
I know!! Looking at this post is cheering me up and I think I really needed the Harper approvals to improve my rather sucky week!
DeleteI can really recommend you start all the series! Nothing like binge reading a series start to finish!
Thank you Kaitlin!!
YAY THORNHILL! I love that series, despite usually disliking werewolf-related books. I really enjoyed Cinder and Chantress, and LOVED Poison Dance and Fire (as you know). Congrats on the Harper approvals! I'm so so so so so happy for you, lady :D
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week, Pili!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Well, your list of pushed books is the reason I got Thornhill! (that and the fact that I got confused and thought that it was the first book of the series when I bought it and after hitting confirm I realized it's the second!! Luckily I have Hemlock also on its way to me now... *facepalm*)
DeleteThanks again for your advice! I wish I could send you some cupcakes to thank you properly!!
You got so many fantastic books! Fire and Anna are two of my favourite books of each genre. I've also been curious about Born of Illusions. Looking forward to seeing your thought on it.

Thank you, Mia! I hope I can get to read them soon!
DeleteALYSSA IS AWESOMER IGHT? :D She's so sweet. And oooh! LOVE Anna and Lola! I hope you love Chantress--LOVED the world. And so jealous of Empire and STrange and Ever After!!! AHHH
ReplyDeleteYEP! She totally is!!
DeleteI'm BEYOND excited for all the books I was approved on by Harper!! I've even decided to try my luck again and re-request Snow Like Ashes, so cross your fingers for me, Nikki!
You got some great books this week. Such pretties, too. :) Happy reading and I hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica! *pets the pretties*
DeleteYay for Edelweiss approval! Congratulations. :D
ReplyDeleteI am really curious to see what you'll think of FIRE. The reactions from all my friends are so different--I hope she comes out with a new series soon, too!
Excited that you have the Kristoffs as well. I really like those books, so I'm always anxious when friends start reading them--sometimes the wordiness can wear on some readers, but the language really is beautiful and stirring.
Wendy @ The Midnight Garden
Thank you, Wendy! It was so exciting seeing the approval sign next to those books! =D
DeleteFire comes "book pushes" from Alyssa and we usually have very similar taste, so I hope I'll love it!
I've read and loved Stormdancer, kindle copy, but I love the US covers so when I saw them on BookOutlet... I jumped for them! =D
Aw, YAY for signed swag :D That is always awesome. <3 And, again, congrats on getting approved via Edelweiss, hih. <3 *Hugs* for not feeling the best. Sniffs. (Me too.) Anyway. Lots of gorgeous book :D I really, really loved Stormdancer and Kinslayer. <3 Now just dying for book three, lol. Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie! *hugs* I still need to read Kinslayer, hopefully soon!
